CORONEL (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for an Other Family (Residence) (Class BU) visa, specifically a Subclass 836 (Carer) visa. The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their eligibility for this visa. The Senior Member of the Tribunal, Kira Raif, was tasked with determining the appropriate course of action.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the criteria for the Subclass 836 (Carer) visa, particularly in relation to carer certificates provided. The Tribunal was required to assess the applicant's compliance with specific regulations, namely Regulation 1.15AA(1)(b) and (c) for the purpose of clause 836.221 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

The Tribunal found that the carer certificates provided by the applicant satisfied the relevant criteria. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for the visa back to the Minister for reconsideration. The remittal was accompanied by a direction that the specified criteria for the Subclass 836 (Carer) visa were met, allowing for further assessment of the remaining eligibility requirements.
